Engineers invent and design things, they make things work and analyse and solve problems, often using mathematical and software tools. Their impact on the world is pervasive and often pioneering.

Engineering solutions help patients with enhanced diagnostic imaging, improved hearing devices, better blood vessel implants and laser surgery. Engineering solutions continue to improve the way we live, driving advances in digital technology, such as the Internet of Things and Smart Cities, that have the possibility of revolutionising how we interact with technology, while at the same time improving sustainability through advances in areas such as energy efficiency and green energy technologies. Some of the most recent and exciting innovations in the energy sector, including wave energy converters, bioreactors and combined heat and power units, are also the work of engineers.

If you’re interested in engineering, but haven’t yet made a choice between courses, the Common Entry into Engineering (Undenominated Entry) option is designed to help you make a decision while still earning credit towards your ultimate degree.

Why do this course?

• Explore different engineering field before committing to specific course
• State-of-the-art facilities
• Lots of hands-on experience in labs
• Industrial experience as part of the course
• Great and varied employment prospects upon graduation

About the course

The Common Entry into Engineering (Undenominated Entry) offers a common first year with all other engineering courses. On completion of the common first year, you may choose to pursue one of the following honours degrees:

• BEng and MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing (DC195)
• BEng and MEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering (DC190)
• BEng and MEng in Biomedical Engineering (DC197)
• BEng in Mechatronic Engineering (DC193)

Please note that common entry does not mean an extra year added to the course; after completion of the one-year Common Entry into Engineering course, you’ll continue in the second year of your chosen degree course.

Careers

As an engineer, you can find yourself at the heart of just about any field, from high-tech industry and medicine to financial services, energy-aware technologies and biotechnology—the cutting-edge dynamic industries of tomorrow.

After you complete your first year Common Entry you will move into one of the listed degree programmes across both the School of Electronic Engineering or the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing. Please view careers listed under each programme.
